Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and when you've run out of ideas while designing a car there is always someone you can flatter. Here are the ten cars Jalopnik readers have picked out as the most obvious examples of automotive plagiarism.

(Welcome back to Answers of the Day - our daily Jalopnik feature where we take the best ten responses from the previous day's Question of the Day and shine it up to show off. It's by you and for you, the Jalopnik readers.)

9.) Dongfeng EQ2050

It's not hard to find fake Prada bags or iPhone wannabes out there, but what about knock offs…

Why: So you want a Hummer but you can't afford a Hummer? Then the Dongfeng EQ2050 is the car for you. If it looks like an H1, it better have the firepower to back it up. And thankfully, there is a Cummins turbodiesel that you can get.

Also, you can get a gun turret, which must be good for getting rid of the lower classes with ease.

8.) Kia K9

Why:When a BMW 5-Series GT and a BMW 7-Series take a nice vacation together in South Korea this is what happens: They give birth to a Kia sedan that apes almost every feature of those cars. All Kia have to do is connect the middle of the grill and it'll be a full fledged Bimmer.

But the Lifan 320 looks like the Mini sort of. As Jeremy Clarkson said "It looks like someone had described the mini to someone else, on the telephone." We'll add that the person on the phone may also have been legally blind.

3.) Mitsuoka Viewt

Why: The first thing we should say is that we love Mitsuoka. The Orochi is one of the coolest looking cars on the road, ever.

But the Viewt is retro styled in a way that is more direct ripoff than retro, but also scaled down. It looks awkward and forced, like the designers said "old looking cars sell, lets just steal one of them and then profit." The Jaaaaag Series 2 is rolling over in its grave right now.
